Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

I have a autistic son and he means the world to me, I got a tattoo to remind myself and others that it’s okay to be different, that it is beautiful to be different in your own way. My son has inspired me to love, care and understand everyone is special in their own way.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

It would say “ this girl has been through so much trials but has always made it out stronger” they would always tell you “this girl doesn’t take shit from anyone”. My life had a lot of ups and downs and each tattoo has their own story behind them, some stories come from family trauma and in the end I took my life back and conquered so many trials alone. Tattoo therapy is real and I’ve used tattoos as a way of healing and letting go of trauma and starting fresh

What would you do with the $25,000?

I’d say I would tattoo my whole body or the parts I have left to tattoo, but honestly I would give back to the women who are struggling with mental health because that is a big part of my life. I would also make sure I provide myself with a Home I could be me in and leave for my children! I would definitely get some tattoos but that isn’t what my priority would be if I won. I’d love to even pay for a few ladies who love ink to get some ink 🩷
